Operation Christmas Child photo # 1
Lynn Haven Baptist Church in Vinton serves as a relay center to accept gift-filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, which are delivered to children in need around the world who might not otherwise receive gifts. Nancy Bowser (left) coordinates the project at Lynn Haven along with Shirley Hall (right). Sue McMillan (center) makes girls' dresses with dolls in the pockets to send, along with stuffed Teddy bears and frogs. Other church members make fleece scarves and crocheted hats.
